Finally a Pukeko Photo




While cycling around NZ I've been seeing many Pukekos (not sure if I'm supposed to throw on an 'e' and make it Pukekoes... but anyway. These birds seem to be everywhere except when you want to take an actual photo of them as they disappear almost immediately (well at least this is my experience).

UNTIL the other day in the Northland just down the hill from the Dragon Tree Lodge where I finally was able to snap this photo.

These birds can fly but look weird while in flight, perhaps due to their HUGE feet. Anyway, the quest is over... now I can appreciate them as I cycle up the coast from Dunedin.

Peace and Bicycle Grease.
